• Programming / configuration of AV kit and control systems (where required)
• Setting up / supporting CCTV systems and networks on integrated projects
• Working from schematics/drawings and coordinating with other trades (M&E exposure)
• Supporting the team on site: guiding engineers, quality checking installs, keeping jobs moving
• Some on-site project coordination / basic project management responsibilities

The Person:

• Strong, proven experience in residential and commercial AV installations (essential)
• Comfortable taking ownership of installs and maintaining high standards (essential)
• Confident with rack builds and commissioning (essential)
• Experience with CCTV and network setup (highly beneficial)
• AV control / programming experience (desirable)
• Reliable, organised, and able to lead by example on site
